What is Sales Velocity?

Sales velocity measures how fast you generate revenue:

Formula: (# of Deals × Avg Deal Size × Win Rate) ÷ Sales Cycle Length

Example:

  • 20 deals/month
  • $50k avg deal
  • 25% win rate
  • 90-day cycle

Velocity = (20 × $50k × 0.25) ÷ 90 = $2,778/day

The Traditional HubSpot Way

  1. Create multiple reports
  2. Calculate each component
  3. Manually compute velocity
  4. Update monthly

Takes hours to build properly.
